After ten years undercover, I'm giving up.

Ma Zhichao pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright."

"Let me explain what happens next."

After saying that, he picked up the phone and dialed Liang Xiaorou directly.

He simply had Liang Xiaorou assist Uncle Biao with the trivial tasks of closing the case, sealing up evidence, and handing over the scene.

Uncle Biao is a seasoned veteran in the police force, and there's virtually no chance of anything going wrong if you entrust these follow-up procedures to him.

After arranging everything, Ma Zhichao looked at Le Huizhen with a relaxed expression.

"Alright, someone's taking over over there."

"I can finally catch my breath."

"You have no idea how much pressure I've been under lately..."

One of the tricks of a scumbag boyfriend: "I'm really suffering."

Lok Wai-ching also cooperated very well, immediately adopting the look of a little fan girl listening attentively.

Not long after, Ma Zhichao took her back to the large house he had temporarily rented near the police station.

As soon as he entered the room, he got into the zone.

"I used to have a girlfriend..."

"Later, she thought I was a gangster, a bad person, so she broke up with me."

"I also used to have a very good friend..."

"But in the end, he also completely severed ties with me because of my identity."

"And my parents..."

"They were so angry with me that their health deteriorated, and they all passed away not long after."

Ma Zhichao's poignant recollections were a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Three parts truth, seven parts fiction.

But he spoke with such emotion and his eyes were so expressive that he managed to evoke Lok Wai-ching's sympathy.

Then, the familiar process began again.

Ma Zhichao took out a glass and poured some wine.

"Excuse me."

"Those ten years as an undercover agent were incredibly tough."

"So I developed a drinking habit later on."

"Sometimes only alcohol can help me temporarily forget some things."

Two wine glasses were quickly placed in front of the two of them.

Ma Zhichao picked up one of the glasses and gently swirled it.

"The path of an undercover agent is truly not for humans."

"Friends from the past can no longer be friends."

"Even though you see evil happening, you still have to pretend to be complicit."

"Sometimes you even get chased, arrested, and interrogated by your own people."

"Those days were truly like being neither human nor ghost."

He said a sentence, then took a sip.

If Fang Siwei were here right now, he would probably find this line of reasoning very familiar.

Isn't this the version I told her back then?

Pooh.

Scumbag!

But in this situation, Lok Wai-ching can't just sit there alone.

How can we continue the interview without having a drink?

How can we get more exclusive content from Ma Zhichao if we don't build a closer relationship?

Moreover, Inspector Ma looks righteous and has such a close relationship with Fong Siu-wai, so he probably wouldn't do anything too outrageous to her, right?

So, without realizing it, Lok Wai-ching also started drinking one cup after another.

The effects of the alcohol were growing stronger.

A sense of sympathy slowly welled up in her heart, and her gaze towards Ma Zhichao unconsciously softened with a maternal glow.

As if the alcohol had taken its toll, Ma Zhichao suddenly cursed with suppressed anger, "My former boss, Huang Zhicheng, was really no good person."

"They clearly agreed that I would return to the police force in three years."

"Then three years came, then another three years, and then another three years."

"In the blink of an eye, I've endured ten whole years in the darkness..."

He spoke more and more heavily, and drank faster and faster.

As Yue Huizhen listened, she gradually became a little drunk.

Her posture began to become unsteady.

The distance between the two of them gradually closed without them even realizing it.

Once they got closer, the ambiguity flared up instantly, like a flame doused with alcohol.

Ma Zhichao looked down at her, his eyes darkening slightly.

Lok Wai-ching sensed that something was off.

But the effects of the alcohol had already taken hold, and my brain was noticeably slower to react.

The interior lighting was soft.

The air was filled with the aroma of wine, and it also felt as if it were burning hot from some kind of heat.

then……

Night fell deeper and deeper.

Just as Ma Zhichao's relationship with Le Huizhen was rapidly warming up.

On the other end.

Hong Jipeng's team had Johnny Wang and his trusted confidant One-Eyed Dragon tied up tightly, and the convoy was heading towards the remote New Territories North.

This stretch of road is very desolate, and there is hardly anyone to be seen around.

The night was deep, and the quiet inside the carriage was somewhat oppressive.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Johnny Wang finally woke up.

He instinctively tried to struggle, but found that he was bound tightly from head to toe.

Even now, the feeling of complete bewilderment from half an hour ago still lingers in his mind.

He couldn't understand it at all.

He was clearly there to conduct arms dealing.

Why did the other party blow him up before the transaction even started?

However, his strong will to survive quickly calmed him down.

He began to try to persuade the thugs in front of him.

"If you want weapons, you don't need to arrest me at all."

"With your strength, I can cooperate with you, or even pledge allegiance to you."

"I can hand over my channels and the goods I have."

"Or do you want money?"

"Can."

"Name your price."

"Thirty million!"

"Fifty million!"

"Eighty million is fine too!"

Johnny Wan kept raising the price.

Unfortunately, Hong Jipeng just looked at him indifferently, a cold smile on his lips.

"Stop wasting your breath."

"Once I catch you, everything you have will be mine, right?"

"..."

Johnny Wang fell silent.

That made such a good point that he couldn't find a way to refute it for a moment.

Boom boom boom—

Just then, a car suddenly sped up from the side of the convoy at an extremely high speed, clearly trying to overtake.

The driver was Wu Shaoxiong!

At this moment, Wu Shaoxiong was extremely flustered.

Just two hours earlier, he had almost had a car accident at the airport.

That fake document was actually fake!

The scoundrel who helped him get the certificate deliberately made a flawed document for him.

As a result, when he bought the ticket at the airport, the staff immediately noticed the discrepancy.

I'm so angry I'm shaking!

How can there be so many bad people in this world?

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he probably would be pinned to the ground by the police by now.

Now, only one path remains for Wu Shaoxiong.

We will travel through the border waters.

Swim to the north shore!

This was his last-resort plan.

He used to dislike the north and never wanted to take this route.

But now there is no choice.

He could only leave Hong Kong Island by swimming!

"Boom boom boom—"

Wu Shaoxiong drove very fast.

He knew that the police could catch up with him at any moment.

Suddenly.

A car was approaching from the front and had crossed the solid line.

To avoid a head-on collision, Wu Shaoxiong had no choice but to swerve sharply to the side.

result--

chap!

His car collided directly with a vehicle belonging to Hong Jipeng's team that was driving alongside him.

Hong Jipeng's team: "???"

While driving, Hong Jibiao subconsciously glanced at the car next to him.

Upon seeing this, his expression immediately changed.

"Brother, the person driving looks like Wu Shaoxiong!"

Hong Jipeng: "Wu Shaoxiong?"

Johnny Wang: "Wu Shaoxiong?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Hong Jipeng then couldn't help but laugh.

"What a coincidence."

"I was just looking for him, and he delivered himself right to my door."

He immediately gave instructions to the last car through his headset.

"Let's keep going."

"You stay here and take Wu Shaoxiong away."

A response came quickly through the headset.

"yes!"

Hong Jibiao stepped on the gas, and the vehicle sped away.

the other side.

Seeing that the other party did not stop to cause trouble, Wu Shaoxiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What he fears most now is that the other party will stop the car and argue with him.

That would likely expose his whereabouts.

Wu Shaoxiong continued driving forward.

But just as they were passing through a secluded alley—

Boom boom boom boom!

A car behind suddenly stepped on the gas and sped up.

Boom!

Wu Shaoxiong's car was hit hard in the rear.

The car jolted violently, its front end veering sharply towards the roadside before crashing into it.

Wu Shaoxiong's head slammed heavily against the steering wheel, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Not long after.

Hong Jipeng's team got out of the car with guns and dragged the unconscious Wu Shaoxiong out of the driver's seat.

Afterwards, they left one of their men behind and drove Wu Shaoxiong's car onwards.

Wu Shaoxiong, got it!
